Or have I missed its rating?

For that specific entry, yes, it was only mentioned once

However, if somebody had mentioned "all Matt damon movies", it is not part of the count for your pick, I hope it makes sense.

Good to have other people's recommendations

I forgot Tea with Mussolini. With such a stellar cast it had to be brilliant!

The Quiet American (from the Graham Greene novel) was brilliant - I’d happily watch that again.

There are several that I thought brilliant but wouldn’t choose to see again, because they’re too sad or poignant - especially if true stories, e.g. Schindler’s List.

There was a brilliant TV docu-drama a couple of years ago, about Rudolf Nureyev and his ultimate defection. Did anyone else see it? The young actor they got to play RN was astonishing - so amazingly like him. And it certainly brought back the Cold War shivers familiar to anyone old enough to remember.
I’m very glad I recorded it - have re watched more than once.
I think it was Beeb but can’t be sure.
